Meet Dr. Shelley Green, newly minted pediatrician. After graduating from medical school at the top of her class, Shelley is hired by Madison Pediatrics, the most exclusive practice on New York's Upper East Side. Hyper-parenting has reached epidemic proportions, and Madison Pediatrics is its over-privileged epicenter. Shelley, a superb doctor with a kid-friendly touch and a genius for diagnosis, quickly becomes the Upper East Side's latest must-have accessory, the darling of the fabulously-wealthy-with-kids crowd. Now this self-described "schlumpy girl from Jackson Heights" is slimming down, dressing up in Fendi and Prada, and weekending in the Hamptons, and Arthur--her adorable schoolteacher fiancé--is left baffled by the changes. Enter Josh Potter, the blue-blooded hunk who never seems to have his check book around. What he does have is charm, connections, and enough sex appeal to set Shelley's head spinning. Before long, Shelley's plate is way too full: men, medicine, and meddling mothers. Can she handle it all without losing her soul--and her fiancé? Dr. Judy Goldstein and Sebastian Stuart have teamed up to deliver a delicious dose of fiction, brimming with acerbic wit, dead-on-satire, and, finally, poignancyand heart.… (mer)

New pediatrician Shelley Green joins a posh Upper East Side practice. Loved it. ( )

Really delightful----and---actually, because Goldstein is a pediatrician herself, full of some very common sense approaches to child care between the moments of the story, caused, of course, by perhaps Goldstein's own possibly real experiences with parents but, in the book, imagined parents/children coming to see the wonderful Shelley, for care.

Shelley has worked hard to graduate med school and has landed the dream job in the Upper East Side. Where I come from, we have a saying, "They're gettin' above their raisin'." That's exactly what happens to Shelley.

Shelley gets caught up in the glitz and glamour of high society and forgets where she came from and the morals/values that she learned from her loving (and overwhelming) family. She loses everything she truly loves and discover that the grass may be greener on the other side, but still has to be mowed. Then she returns to her roots.

This book was a quick, easy read but very predictable. I didn't like that the entire ending happened in the very last chapter (a whole SIX PAGES!). It's like the author couldn't think of any other situations to put Shelley in and decided it was time for her to "see the light". Bam! Just like that, everything was neatly wrapped up in the predictable ending.

The best part of the book was Shelley's interactions with her patients and their over-the-top celebrity parents. ( )

Undistinguished in any respect, save ease of reading. I neither liked nor disliked any of the characters: I simply did not care. The speed with which characters formed apparent friendships suggests either nonsense or shallowness, and I'm inclined toward the latter because even the romantic entanglements were insipid. In sum: not terrible but certainly not good; simply, meh. ( )
